Should We Start a Foundation or Charity?

Question by Ali: Should we start a foundation or charity?
Last October my mom passed away from having a drug addiction to prescriptions. So my friend came up with this idea that we start a foundation for my mom, and to help other addicts. Also, to help save lives, and help others not loose their loved ones like I did.

But as I started researching I kind of got confused on what exactly a foundation and what exactly a charity is.. so could someone explain it better to me please?

Knowing the Risk of Addiction to Oxycodone, Should Teenagers Be Given This Medication?

Question by pmuzzy58: Knowing the risk of addiction to oxycodone, should teenagers be given this medication?

I was stunned to find out how may recently have died and most of them were from a prescription addiction to oxycodone or oxycontin. A friend’s teen had surgery lately and I warned the mother to ask for another pain killer because of knowing the rate of addiction to oxycodone. She said that she wasn’t concerned and that her son would be all right. I relate my personal family history of drug addiction.
